He declared that true Americanism was found not in the hills or the valleys, the plains or the cities, but in the hearts of our citizens. It found its best expression in obedience to the laws and loyalty to the flag. The young attorney was frequently interrupted with applause.

Commander Reynolds, with tears in his eyes, made an affecting He declared that it was no wonder Lawton Camp prospered, backed by such a noble organization as Post 92, and by the loyal citizens of the town.

NO HOPE OF SAVING CREW OF SUBMARINE Russian "Diver" Sent to Bottom in Collision; 20 Perish. Sebastopol, June hope is gone of saving the lives of the crew of twenty of the Russian submarine boat Kambala, which was sunk in collision with the battleship Rostislav during maneuvers Friday night, or of recov ering the wreck, owing to the great depth of water. Two divers have died in the attempts to rescue the men or account of the immense pressure. Oth ers have tried repeatedly and heroic ally to pass chains around the wreck but finally came to the surface ut terly exhausted, having accomplished nothing.

All operations have beer abandoned. The Kambala went down in 150 feet of water, and only untrustworthy bulk heads stood between the men and death after the boat was struck by the ram of the Rostislav. The submarine flotilla was conduct ing a series of night manoeuvers against the battleship squadron, witt the idea of forcing an entrance into the harbor of Sebastopol. The Kam bala, running half submerged, passec half a cable length to port of the lead ing ship, the Panteleimon, and theoret ically put this vessel out of actior with a torpedo. After passing the first battleship the Kambala suddenly and unaccountably swerved through the line and the Rostislav caught her squarely with her ram.

The subma rine sank at once. First Lieutenant Aquilonoff was or deck at the time of the accident. He swam away and was saved, but Cap tain Bielikoff, Midshipman Tuckkoff a warrant officer and seventeen me. bers of the crew perished.
